Fatshark, the developer of Warhammer - End Times: Vermintide, announces it’s working on a VR level for the game that it intends to give away to fans for free. Warhammer - End Times: Vermintide is a first-person shooter title that takes place in the storied Warhammer universe, a setting that has spawned a number of games that have ranged from ostensibly bad to nuanced and enthralling. Oddly enough, crossover games have been where Warhammer has found the most success, with titles like Total War: Warhammer receiving high praise - but Warhammer - End Times: Vermintide managed to buck that trend, even inspiring comparisons to Left 4 Dead in the way it approaches fun multiplayer co-op....

The Batman: Arkham series is one of the best selling and arguably one of the most critically acclaimed franchises in the entirety of the DC Universe. It makes sense that Warner Bros. Interactive would want to keep The Dark Knight in the spotlight and many wonder how a continuation of the series would be possible due to the very controversial ending of Batman: Arkham City. Warner Bros. hinted at a new title back in January after registering Batman-themed domain names, and there have been rumors circulating that Rocksteady, the original Arkham series developers, won’t have a hand in the latest installment....

Fans of the Harry Potter series have been sorting themselves into the four Houses at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry ever since the first book. Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin all have their merits and weaknesses. Similarly, every class in Dungeons & Dragons has its advantages and drawbacks.

Doom helped lay the foundation for decades of FPS games, rising to be one of the longest-running gaming franchises on the market. And while its protagonist Doom Guy is as much of an icon as his arsenal of weapons, it appears that the game is being brought to life by some pretty interesting sound effects, including one’s that players may recognize from other places.

Despite being the catalyst for much of Persona 5’s early plot, Shiho Suzui - one of the first NPCs you meet in the game - pretty much vanishes after the first conflict is resolved. Unlike Mishima, who gets an entire confidant link of his own, her appearances afterward are mostly limited to dialogue references, despite the fact that he was less integral to the story than she was. A one-time cameo near the end of Ann’s social link is all we get to see of her, and fans who fell in love with her gentle demeanor were left wanting more....

The Witcher 3 has what seems like an endless number of side quests, many of which are more involved and longer than some of the main story quests. A lot of these side quests help Geralt get to know important characters or take him to interesting parts of the world. Some of the secondary quests are so fun or interesting that they could stand on their own as a small game....
